Authentic Community

Wow! Tonight University Church was ... great, awesome, fun, ... yes, but I think "real" is the best word to describe tonight. The order of service was all screwed up, Daivd and I didn't have music ready until we flew out the door, and there weren't many people there, but God was. We only did three of the songs, we anguished over choosing and Sean didn't give the exact "sermon" he had prepared (at least that was my impression), and again, there weren't many bodies present, but, where two or three are gathered ...

The laughter, tears, prayer, and conversation that took place tonight were authentic, they flowed together the way life always does, but in the way that God entertwines it, not our knotted, chaotic mess of "organized living". Thank You, Father, for giving us a glimpse of what You desire in our hearts, lives, and Your church! Hope You enjoyed the evening as well!

Our budding community is something I am so excited about these days! I hope to meet some of you through UC, which meets each Sunday evening at 7:30 in Danforth Chapel on KU's campus, and each Tuesday for free food (Phat Tuesday) and a fun time at Sean and Lisa's house which is very close to campus (approx 21st and Naismith). We love to have fun, and get to know all sorts of people from the Lawrence area. Hope to see you soon!
